Z1 cam!! I know the Z1 cam is listed for use with a stroker motor, but do you think it would be a good cam for a 346ci car. Is it just to much? How much could stage 2 heads be milled for this cam? Anyone have any dyno results with this cam?

Re: Z1 cam!! That is a pretty huge cam, but if you have the heads decked, you will be able to fit that cam in the car with stock rockers. If you do, check p/v clearence before turning the motor over. And like ragtop said, you'd have to spin very high on a stock bottom end to suck all the power out of that cam. Take a look at a similar cam: Speed Inc. CC-custom 4 cam. 224/224 581/581 112 LSA.
BTW, the "after rocker ratio" for the 1.85 rocker with your cam is .636 lift.

Re: Z1 cam!! You MIGHT be able to mill .010 and be okay...but that would be cutting it close (literally).
I am going to be running a cam similar to that...but with .010 more lift, and it will be on a stock bottom end.

Re: Z1 cam!! Flycut your pistons, and you could do it (but dont come after me if it doesnt clear!). In any case, I think thats a bit much for stock displacement. I think max id recommend would be maybe an R1 (232/236) and even that is really pushing it.
The yella terra's are 1.7:1, but they are a true 1.7 (vs stock 1.7 which actually a little bit less than 1.7) and the delivery is a little bit smoother and more stable than the stock rockers.

Re: Z1 cam!! Thanks for the info guys. I don't think I'll be doing this cam, because turning the motor 6800+ is a little bit much for my tates. Even though it isn't my daily driver. What is the formula to figure lift of a cam with different rockers? Thanks agian guys!!!
